Be prepared to tell your kids to stay away from the taped off area behind the pavilion by the playground, bc the city engineers are trying to figure out why we have so much water there when it rains!
I talked with a few workers this afternoon who were so kind and knowledgeable. They said that the current Parks and Rec head was top notch and had a city engineer out trying to figure out the issue. So far, they found mystery plumbing (not a big surprise in St Elmo) as well as crazy amounts of water coming up from underground. I have the same seepage issue in my backyard across the street which used to be part of the rock quarry. All the underground rocks allow water to travel and then it comes up where it can.
The good news is that they are tending to it and it will take some time. I also asked them to put new mulch on their radar. They suggested that it should be replaced when we are past the Spring rains.
So grateful for the attention our park is getting!
